Jean Cocteau, 1950, France

In 1950 artist, poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau made Orphée, a film full of poetry and ingenious special effects. The film is a modern interpretation of the Greek myth about the musically gifted Orpheus and his search for his lover Eurydice, who has descended into the underworld. A real avant-garde classic of film history that creates a completely unique universe with a revolutionary way of filming that would inspire filmmakers as diverse as Alfred Hitchcock and Jean Luc Godard.
